Binding Spring Love

[Physical book available for purchase on homepage; film already sold]
The Jiang and Song families had been on good terms for generations, and Song Wan was betrothed to Jiang Xingjian even before she was born. The two were childhood sweethearts, but she was confined to the inner quarters of the household, and all her learning in her life was merely preparation for becoming a wife in the Jiang family.
The young man, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, had lofty ambitions. Before he even reached adulthood, he went to the border to make his mark. Before his departure, Jiang Xingjian personally put a white jade hairpin on her hair.
With just one sentence, "Wait for me," Song Wan's heart was touched. Even though he died on the battlefield, she insisted on marrying into the Chengyang Marquis's mansion while still holding his memorial tablet.
She kept the young man hidden in her heart for six years as a widow, only to wait for Jiang Xingjian to return to the capital with his beloved. The young man's behavior was eccentric, and she made ice and firearms in the summer to help the Marquis's mansion rise to prominence.
Song Wan watched as he embraced her, showering the young woman with affection. She also watched as he personally snatched the power to manage the household from her hands, all to win a smile from the beauty.
Noble families have ever divorced a woman. Song Wan abandoned everything and left the Marquis's mansion, only to be entangled by a rebellious and unruly man.
But Jiang Xingjian suddenly realized his mistake.
Jiang Xingjian: The Song family were my people in life and my ghosts in death.
Shen Qianyu: You go find your deadbeat, I want my Awan...
